CAC Outgoing Longwave Radiation, Monthly Means and Half Month Means

This dataset contains monthly and semimonthly means of outgoing longwave radiation derived from polar orbiting satellites passing over each earth location at least twice daily. The data from both the "morning" and "evening" passes are on a global 2.5-degree latitude/longitude grid.
